Describe the extent of the line proposal
Missoula’s 2026 programme description distinguishes spot repair from specified replacement segments in its conditional-forgiveness discussion. It is not an eligibility finding for this proposal.
Ask the appropriate professional to describe the physical extent being proposed: a localized repair, replacement of a named segment or a full replacement. Preserve any stated endpoints and mark an unassessed extent as unknown. A broad water-line label can leave those alternatives indistinguishable when offers are compared.
Keep the programme question tied to that exact scope
Give City staff the same defined scope when asking about the current programme. Its description names main-to-curb-box, curb-box-to-house and full-replacement contexts while excluding spot repair from that conditional-forgiveness discussion. No financial terms or outcome are determined here.
If assessment changes the proposed extent, retain the difference before relying on an earlier City answer. Ask which revised question needs clarification and confirm the professional’s accepted physical task independently. An existing directory profile does not establish water-line capability or programme participation, and the guide provides no excavation or connection method.
Does Missoula’s 2026 conditional-forgiveness description include spot repair?
No. That discussion expressly excludes spot repair while naming particular replacement contexts. Ask the City about the actual proposal.
What if a water-line proposal changes from a spot repair to replacing a longer segment?
Keep the earlier and revised endpoints distinguishable. Ask about the changed scope rather than apply an answer concerning different work.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
